I have never understood how to interpret AQI in iOS. Confusingly, the UI will (edit: or at least used to?) say "Air Quality: Low" when what it means is that the pollution level is low (ie. air quality is high). Somewhat disappointing coming from Apple.

  Same for me in US English. For example, right now it’s “18 - Good”. It was “469 - Hazardous” just three weeks ago though.

      Yep, the Ontario Canada wildfires destroyed air quality for the NE part of the US.
